Positive Rewards: ·Lakeside Loot Lakeside Loot is fourth grade's classroom money. When students are following the classroom rules and/or generally behaving as they should, they can be rewarded with Lakeside Loot. Students can also receive Lakeside Loot for completing all their work for the week, helping a classmate or a teacher, and going "above and beyond" in fourth grade. All Lakeside Loot is kept by the student in their bank account. Students will need to balance their accounts. Small treats and classroom supplies are available for purchase throughout the school year with auctions also taking place at special times. · Paper Clip ChainThe Paper Clip Chain rewards the whole class when everyone is on-task and following classroom rules. When this happens, our paper clip chain person adds a paper clip to a small chain of paper clips located on the top of the door. When the chain reaches the bottom of the white board, students earn an extra 15-minute recess. Yeah! ·Class Parties Students who maintain good behavior and follow classroom rules are eligible to participate in our class parties. If a student receives more than three Behavior Citations (see below) in a quarter, he or she is not eligible to attend the next class party.
